Saturday options
Drive times from the house are approximate
Four RosesLawrenceburg · ~10 minDistillery is just outside town.
Wild TurkeyLawrenceburg · ~10 minAlso right in Lawrenceburg, on the Kentucky River.
Woodford ReserveVersailles · ~25 minHistoric stone distillery in horse country.
Buffalo TraceFrankfort · ~25 minLarge campus; tours fill fast.
Booking for 16
Tastings are by reservation and group sizes are often capped, so we may need to split into two times.
It's the Saturday before Thanksgiving, so book early.
Pairing one Lawrenceburg stop with Woodford or Buffalo Trace keeps the driving short.
Pick designated drivers per car.
Service notes
From the branch letter, Sept 2, 2026
In the territory
Work only inside the boundaries on the Unassigned Territory Boundaries sheet. Don't subdivide it into numbered sections.
Offer the Enjoy Life Forever! brochure. If they already have it, other literature is fine.
Carry a variety of tracts for not-at-homes and people who decline literature.
Call at every home, even if a map shows it uninhabited.
Try to start a Bible study on the first call. Make return visits on strong interest; as time allows, revisit not-at-homes and general interest.
In bad weather, work a town; rural roads may be unpaved.
Recording interest
Record all interest on the Record of Interest form (S-277). Copy it as needed; don't make our own.
Give each interested person a unique number in the "Map key" space, and write that number at their location on a fresh map.
If police stop us
Don't discuss legal rights. Leave politely and promptly if asked.
Then Travis and an elder from a neighboring congregation call the Legal Department: (845) 306-1000.
After the trip
Door-to-door stops when the assignment ends Nov 26. Visiting, calling or writing people who showed interest is still fine.
Send the marked maps and Record of Interest forms to the nearest congregation(s), not to the Territory Desk.
Report on Territory Seldom Worked (S-273) due before Dec 26, 2026. An elder emails it to the Service Department from jwpub.org with "Territory Desk" in the subject. Experiences go in a separate document.
Neighboring publishers who join us in service count on our report.
